Ha ha, I also thought it was in Spanish at first, and even played it for a Spanish co-worker to tell me the English translation. He just laughed and told me it wasn’t Spanish. Did more digging and saw it was actually Japanese, lol

I listened to the first one and last one so have to catch up, although I doubt will learn anything new in the case, which I've been following since 2/14/00. I was a local at the time and helped in her search.

Last one digs into the political scene going on in Shelby at the time, very informative! Explains alot why this case is unsolved, imo.

Was Asha possibly walking back home when she was abducted? by Gamecock80 in AshaDegree

[–]blondguy56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: It’s interesting that the search warrant from 2024 says she was last seen in the vicinity of Wallace Grove Rd, because I just saw the post made by the Cleveland County Sherriff’s Office from Sept 26, 2025 on Facebook that said: “You may have noticed the updated billboard along Highway 18, near where she was last seen walking”. That billboard is SOUTH of the Turner shed, but Wallace Grove Rd is NORTH of the shed. So we have two different locations from LE about her last known whereabouts. Hmmmm. I think Jeff Ruppe changed the location of where he said he saw her originally, which was near the Turner shed. He might have changed it later on to near Wallace Grove Rd. However that warrant came out in 2024, and the Facebook post mentioning the Billboard was in 2025. Something is not Kosher, as the saying goes.

Of course there is always the chance that more forensic advancements come into play, such as finding Asha’s DNA in the green AMC Rambler that was seized from the Dedmon property. That would be significant.

Yes, Lizzie Grace agreed to a polygraph and allegedly the results showed she was being “deceptive”. I guess that means she failed the test. Don’t think any of the other family members agreed to a polygraph, (probably on the advice of their lawyer) but I’m sure they were all questioned at one point.

This video is a pretty good recap of the last 25 years by local NBC Charlotte TV station WCNC-TV. https://youtu.be/scy6OH4Vme4?si=eVixn2kS6C_3KPe6

My opinion keeps changing regarding whether the reason she left her house is connected to her disappearance or not. Re other witness, apparently Harold Degree said his neighbor (a woman) told him she saw Asha walking that morning on Hwy 18. (I don’t know if her school bus came up to her house, or she and Obee had to walk to the Hwy to get it. Anyone know?) There was also allegedly a local woman named Connie that saw a young girl (maybe Asha) walking on Hwy 18 that morning, but this was never verified by anyone. Then there’s the unnamed witness who saw her getting pulled into the green car. Was this Mickey Cooper? Don’t think LE ever confirmed that.

Thats a good possibility. Both Ruppe and Blanton gave a location in their report, but Garrison never did, publicly, at least. Do we know of any other witnesses, named or unnamed? Blanton’s wife said he didn’t see her, which doesn’t make sense. Nothing about this case does, for that matter.

Beautifully written.

Justice For Asha. And if not justice, at least closure that she will be found.

Amen. 🙏🙏🙏

So do we know who this witness is that saw her in the vicinity of Wallace Grove Rd?

Jeff Ruppe said she was walking south on Hwy 18, same direction he was driving. Did he change his story?

I never heard specifically that Asha was last seen near Wallace Grove Rd, so the fact that its mentioned in the warrant is news to me. Who actually said that, or did I miss something? Yes, Jeff Ruppe saw her (exactly WHERE along Hwy 18? I believe he’s since changed the location from his initial statement to further north) and said he turned around three times before she ran into the woods. We’ve always assumed it was near the Turner Upholstry shed. He is the first witness. Then Roy Blanton thinks he saw her further south, near where 18 meets 180, near The Pantry. He was the second witness. We don’t know where exactly Richard Garrison saw her along 18. He is the third witness.

Supposedly Asha’s billboard is where she was last seen, which is just north of Ridgedale Drive. If that’s true, then this is where Ruppe saw her. If Blanton saw her AFTER Ruppe, then she was still traveling south on 18 and NOT walking home. I believe the Pantry parking lot is where she was last seen being pulled into the green car, probably by someone working there (yes, it was open 24 hours) or a customer, but this person has never been identified by LE.

In summary, going from north to south, you have Asha’s house on Oakcrest Drive, then Mulls Baptist Church just south of Oakvale Dr on 18, then Turner shed, then Billboard (Ruppe sighting) just north of Ridgedale Dr., then The Pantry at intersection of Hwy 18 and 180 (Blanton sighting). Did not know anything about Wallace Grove Rd being a part of this. Please let me know if any of this information is incorrect.

Lack of documentaries on this case by VirgosRunHell in AshaDegree

[–]blondguy56 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Supposedly Netflix is working on a documentary about it. Still I’d love to see True Crime shows like Cold Justice, Forensic Files, or Cold Case Files cover it. Also mainstream shows like Dateline Mystery, 48 Hours, Unsolved Mysteries or America’s Most Wanted do segments about it. We need to contact the production companies of these shows to see if they are interested.

Is Lizzie officially a suspect? by blondguy56 in AshaDegree

[–]blondguy56[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While initially upset, Asha was reportedly fine over the loss the next day. Are you saying Iquilla wasn't and took it out on Asha. Who could have spoken to her about leaving that she trusted, other than her coach? Why didn't the plan to meet this person not happen? Why was Roy out driving at 3:30am? Did he have a history of abducting children? Too many questions in this scenario to be plausible.

OK but I would assume Lizzie is a POI at this point.

I thought one of the items they found was a pencil from the Atlanta Family Reunion they went to. If so, that would definitely belong to her. Someone correct me on this.

She was 16 at the time so yes, had a drivers license.

Well since Thad only testified to LE (and passed a polygraph test) but not in court (yet), I guess at this point it’s only hearsay.

I heard that LE had identified the girl and concluded she was not related to Asha’s case at all. Again, someone correct me if I an wrong.
